Regular expressions

Good Morning - regex confuses the bejeesus out of me. I want to be able to search for Aston Martin without seeing headers for Aston Springs or Aston Martinez. What's the secret of searching for specific literal strings?
Thanks,
DaDane

If you want the two words together with the space, you can use
"aston\smartin"
The "\s" means "space".

Hi Quade - thanks for the reply. Sorry to be a pain but I'm still a bit confounded.
If I enter "aston\smartin" (with or without "") I get an error that says no results
If I just enter aston martin - 304 headers; "aston martin" 272
If after one of those, I replace the space with \s (aston\smartin - with or w/o "") and don't hit enter - 125 headers.
That's the closest I get to what I want (still get aston martinez), but it take 2 steps. Is that how it should be?
Thanks,
DaDane
